Will this winter bring anything like last winter's record-breaking 56 inches of snow at National Airport (and 73" at Dulles)? Or will it be much closer to or below the average annual snowfall of 15 inches at National (and 21" at Dulles)? We've already given you our forecast. Now, it's your turn...

Bonus questions: When will National Airport record its first snowfall of 1 inch or more (average date: Dec. 28)? And exactly how many inches of snow will National end up with for the season (extra credit for including a Dulles forecast as well)? Log your responses in the comments section below. We'll take a look back at your predictions after our first inch of snow has come and at the end of the season, and promise to give credit where credit is due.

hahaha, eric, tryin' to "price is right" me, again huh? i go for dec. 14 for our first snow, and a total of "more than 40".

why not 40+? i mean, i'm not really basing it on anything. along those lines, i find jamie's 3 significant figure predictions pretty funny. the rational part of me would just look at the averages, maybe read a few "winter outlooks" and so forth, and predict 11-20 - that's would be logical.

but...having said all that, i guess 42.35" at my house - i don't really care about how much it snows at the airports... unless...i could talk them into piling all that runway snow into giant sculptable piles... (voice trails off as i drift into reverie....)

Hi SP, you forgot to list your current snow depth. Thanks Walter, for your information. Since snow always falls on a weekend and I'll have to go with Dec 12th for the first inch at National (3.1 inches at Walter's house).

Snow fascinates me! I can watch snow falling for hours, on TV, as long as it is in far-off places like Europe, Siberia...!
